Opposing team had more athleticism? A few players maybe, but across the board no way. If we didn't hit the punter in the endzone the game would have been a lot easier on the heart. If we would have went up one more score they would have had to get a way from the slow option...and their passing playbook would have run out in a hurry.
They were a great team...but I would never say clearly more athletic. They had three great ones...qb (would could barely throw), rb, and manbearpig.
